Please disregard that info as the last parm to HeapCreate is (0) so the heap 
is automatically expanded when needed.

My next guess is that "atom buffer" in function GetParentItem() and each
instance
of "buffer" in function GetParentItem() needs to be renamed "gp_buffer" although
Im not sure why.

I have confirmed that effm2.exw does run on my copy of Win-XP_SP2 !
I could be more help if that demo wasnt 5+ years old and I no longer
run or write programs for the M$-Platforms, only Linux.

try it and see if Im correct...
